Show in Madison Square Garden.
Madison Square garlen-what pleasingly
poetic sound it has, and what aristocratic as
sociatons does it recalll We think at once
of Miss Flora McFlimsey and all the silks,
satins and dainty stuff she brought home
from Paris in the celebrated twelve trunks.
1t does not seem the place for COW show,
does it? Yet the season in the "garden"--so
called, being only a square rooted in-began
with a circus, which was followed by dog
show, and now there is the finest exhibition
of dairy cattle and products ever held in
America. This display of Ayrshires. Hol-
stems, Guernseys and Jerseys has excited the
enthusiasm of all fine stock fanciers in New
York and the eastern states. The visitors
have walked among $4,000 calves and cows
of such rare breeding and abundant flow of
milk that the figures are almost incredible. In
this exhibition was the largest bull in the
world, the best mixer i'll the world,
the most noted cow in America for
valuable calves and dozens of mild eyed kline
that stand at the head of their race in the
several states whence they came.

TYPES OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE
DARK CONTINENT.

Germany and France Seeking to Open
the Former Terra Incognita to the
Arts of CiviIization-SOme Peculiarities
of the Natives.
There was a time, and not so very long ago,
when the name of Africa awakened within
us a certain mysterious feeling. For our
fathers the geographical study of the dark
continent was still comparatively easy task,
for this dark continent showed on the maps
number of white plains, the designation for
the undiscovered country. Those white plains
within the last few decades have considerably
iessened for into the mighty continent the
expeditions of science have penetrated, and
since Germany has also gained a footing
i'll Africa the interest in the continent
so long neglected has almost become a matter
of fashion 1t is apparent that France, dur
ing her fifty years of experiment, has made
but slight progress in coloniZing northern
Africa. But then the Turks had devastated
the country, and civilization can only return
to it slowly.
In the matter of landscape much of Algeria
is rich. Rugged mountain chains stretch to
the coast from Algiers. There are wide and
rocky plains, rivers that foam over rocks, and
valleys that delight the eye.
Modern French culture has deprived the
old Numidian capital of its original interest

Some stationary Comets.

Often in the winter there may be
cen in the gas region, far up in the
SKY at night, one or more faint white
streaks, six or eight feet long ley
look like comets, and the one first seen
was quite generally mistaken for
comet. Each one of these is caused by
burning gas-well. The light of the
well shines upon the small ice-crystals
which quite often are floating in the
air, far above us, and is by them re-
tlected, or thrown down again, SO that
we see it, though the gas-well may be
many miles from us. Every we'll fur
nishes but one ''comct, AS we may
call it, for want of II better name,--
which always appears in the same
place. When the lower air also is
filled with ice-cTystals, we see not the
comets, but great, fiery streaks, the
complete reflections, that reach from
the points where the comets were,
down across the sky TO the horizon at
the points where we see the glare of
the distant gas-wells.
They stand ont against the dark
background, like great, fiery rods, a
central bright streak, or spine. running
through them, which shades off into
beautiful glowing red on each side.
They are regular in shape, apparently
about twenty inches wide, the sides
straight, the top slightly rounded. and
the bottom fading away, as it reaches
the flame, in the glare of the well.
No description or pictures of these
comets and fiery columns can give a
true idea of their strange beauty.
which does not become commonplace
by reason of regular, every day--or.
rather, every night-appearanee as
these phenomena are visible only un-
der certain favorable conditions. Those
still, chilly nights, when the sky has
hazy appearance, when q few scatter
ing flakes of crisp, dry snow may be
fluttering down, are the nights upon
which the finest displays are seen; and
several nights may intervene between
these curious and beautiful exhibitions.
Sometimes the comets will appear di-
rectly overhead, and the fiery columns
often reach to a great height, depend
ing, of course, on the distance of the
observer from source of illumination.

tons was estimated to be six and

The Happy western Farmer.

The illustrious farmer begins work

thinks of getting up. With his soul
shrouded in gloom he proceeds to build
a fire and soften his boots with ham,

shovels his way TO the balm and feeds
the hogs. 1t is then time to feed the

delight in bunting pail of milk all
over the tiller of the soil, until he only
needs to be stamped to pass for a pack
age of oleomargarine. He crawls
through a barbed-wire fence and digs
his hay out of the snow, feeds his
stock, milks the COWS, cleans out the
stables, gathers up the frozen chickens,
chases a stray pig worth % cents for
four miles, doctors a sick horse, freezes
bis fingers, gets kicked by one-eyed
mule, and when the cleaning comes
and quietness broods over the earth he
has single half-hour to mediate and

wounds are. still open, and when he

Creole Ladies.

A New York lady recently visiting
in New Orleans was good enough to
express her pleased surprise that the
women of the south were independent
and energetic. and was particularly
gratified concerning the creole ladies.
Had this gentle, sample-visiting critic
stopped longer, says the New Orleans
Picayune, she might have learned
more; that there are no lazy women in
the south anywhere, and that probably
among them, to use phrase from
Massachusetts, 'smost thoro,. gh-going"
are the creole ladies. Creole ladies
are splendid housekeepers and keen
and careful mothers. They are de-
voted to the finer arts of making the
home beautiful, and are unceasing in
their efforts to make their daughters
thoroughly competent and accomplish
ed women. Thorough-goingness is.
after all, not matter Of geographical
location, and it should no more sur
prise lady from New York to learn
that the southern women are inde-
pendent and energetic than it should
surprise lady from Louisiana to learn
that the northern women wash their
faces every day:
